Hieneken Porter's Five Forces

The global beer market is growing around 36% year on year, however Chahal, (2013) states that sales in the UK beer market are decreasing by 4.8% year on year, forcing the industry to invest in more advertising to stem the flow.

According to WSTA, (2013) there are 204,684 licensed premises in the UK and around 26 million people visit regularly on-trade premises. However one of the reasons for UK sales decline is due to consumer off-trade spending preference as there is more alcohol beverage variety and people are more encouraged to stay at home. (MarketWatch, 2010; Datamonitor, 2010)

The beer market competes with many different other alcoholic beverages and Lager is operating in a very difficult market in the UK.
Barriers to Entry

According to Casey’s beer, (2013) to start a new successfully brewery will probably need around half a million pounds to start with, however some people have managed to start breweries with a budget of £60,000 it all depends on the size of the new business. There are a number of legal requirements that new breweries need, for example, local licenses. Also growing a recognizable brand within the beer market can take a long time. (Perleberg and O’Brien, 2012)

There is a high barrier to open a new brewery, because successful large chains, which have economies of scale, dominate this market in the UK, such as Heineken together with other brewers like Bass plc, SaBMiller, AB InBev, Guiness, Scottish Courage and Carlsberg, each of these provide a portfolio of very well known brands. (Jones et al, 2013)

According to Wood, (1999) the central approach to increase barriers of entry is for companies to gain market power with high brand equity, such a Heineken with its very well known core brand Heineken, built with a set of assets and liabilities that add value to the…...

...In the following document I will be discussing the Porter’s five-force model and how it is used in order to develop an international strategy. As with any group that forms with a common goal, any organization that wishes to be successful must have a strategy in place that guides the different functional aspects of the organization not only as a whole, but at a granular level. Organizations that perform business, especially on a global scale, create a plan that defines what the organization will accomplish in the next year or more along with directions and responsibilities for each part of the organization. In developing the strategic plan, the team must take into account multiple perspectives, approaches, the nature and complexity of the organization, and team expertise in order to have the best impact in the end result desired (McNamara, C., n.d.). As the result of the organization’s end result will be dependant on many external forces, a model was created by Michael Porter in order to define these forces and how they change according to the current environment.
In the interest of having an advantage over its competitors, all organizations should be familiar with Mr. Porter’s five force model. Porter defined five forces that affect the profitability; these forces define the rivalry that will be experienced by the organization when conducting business. One of these forces, the degree of rivalry is influenced by factors such as how much product is available on the market,...

Abstract
Porter’s Five Forces Model is a holistic approach towards competitive strategy. The model
provides a framework for the strategic direction of management teams that are seeking an edge
over their competitors and additional factors that may undermine profits. The model displays the
dynamics between the competitive rivals, buyer’s bargaining power, suppliers, new entrant’s
threat and substitutes. The implementation of Porter’s Five Forces Model is crucial on
international business practice in order to establish a successful overseas operation and reduce
cost of expansion. Global business expansion has become a common practice. Modern
organizations are prone to take advantage of international attractive markets that are highly
profitable and offer incentives for foreign companies. Implementation of the model increases the
chances of success for firms that are considering branching out or simply starting a new
company overseas. The Company’s management strategic vision also benefits from Porter’s
Model because it points out the forces that affect the organization’s profitability. However,
Porter’s modeling techniques have some limitations such as the absence of providing meaningful
advice for preventive actions and profitability based solely on fighting competitors without
taking in consideration opportunities of competitive strategic alliances. In conclusion, Porter’s
Five Forces Model influences the profitability,......

Porter’s five forces
Effectiveness of generic strategies
The study of strategic management is quite stimulating. It gives a person insight in a lot of leadership and managerial roles. One such aspect I have come across is that of generic strategies. This has been quite stimulating to me as it relates to some questions I have had in the past. The question related to the effectiveness of applying human resources systems and strategies across many companies in various continents. After a long time of studying such a scenario, I concluded that having human resources systems that are used the world over would not be effective because of the diverse cultures that are found in the world. But in some field such as accounting there are standards that are applied world over. So what about generic strategies? Can these really be effective across industries, across continents and in varying business sizes and scope? This essay will answer these questions in a very simple way.
The first thing to understand is what a generic strategy is. Generic strategy refers to the use of predetermined strategy, based on some basic principles and assumptions, that if applied would lead to business success. A generic strategy is an outline of what a firm must or can do so as to be successful, disrespectful of the industry or nature of business of that firm. The question is could all industries and firms be able to use prescriptions of a generic strategy and be......

...Introduction
The porter forces model was first developed in 1979 by Michael .F. Porter of the Harvard as structure for assessing and evaluating the competitive position and power of an organization, the model is grounded on the concept that there are five forces which ascertain the competitive intensity of the market (Porter, 2008).
Figure 1.1 shows a diagram of the five forces model, (Flesicher, 2007)
Porter’s five forces model is quite useful and it provides a number of benefits , its most contribution is that it's a relevant tool to help organizations find the fundamental structuring components of their given business operation. It is the map showing where the company is and where they hope or want to be (Flesicher, 2007).Further more Schmidt (p.82, 2010) adds that “The model help to identify where the power is in the present business situation, This is important both in understanding the might of a company’s current competitive situation and the power of a position that the company wants to move to.”By understanding where the intensity is, the model can be used to identify the areas of strength, to improve failings and prevent mistakes; also strategic analysts often use the theory to know if new products or services are potentially profitable (Roy, 2011).
The five forces model is a tool for analysising the competitive environment as Henry (p.70, 2008) states that “It allows an organization to determine the attractiveness or profit potential of a given market by...

...Porter's Five Forces Model
Porter's five forces analysis is the structure framework for industry analysis and business strategy development. (Porter, M.E. 2008) Using Porter's five forces analysis is a way to figure out the different firms competition levels and force of said "attractiveness" of a market. "Attractiveness" being used in the context of the end all, be all of a industry's profitability. On the other hand, an unattractive industry refers to the combination of all five of the forces acting to drive down the overall profitability. (Porter, M.E. 2008) Three of the five forces of Porters refer to the competition derived from external sources, the remaining two are both internal threats.
Porter looked at the forces as the micro environment, that way it would highly contrast against the more commonly known term "macro environment". These forces are close the company and greatly affect the company's ability to serves its customers and make a profit also. If a change were to occur it will normally result in a business having to re-evaluate and re-asses the marketplace to see what overall changes in the company would have to be made to keep up with the market. This however, does not go to say that every firm or company will have the same amount of profit. A company with clear objectives is more likely to achieve a profit over a company with less clear objectives. It comes down to the company's core competences and how the company comes together to work......

...The Porter's Five Forces tool is a simple but powerful tool for understanding where power lies in a business situation. This is useful, because it helps you understand both the strength of your current competitive position, and the strength of a position you're considering moving into.
With a clear understanding of where power lies, you can take fair advantage of a situation of strength, improve a situation of weakness, and avoid taking wrong steps. This makes it an important part of your planning toolkit.
Conventionally, the tool is used to identify whether new products, services or businesses have the potential to be profitable. However it can be very illuminating when used to understand the balance of power in other situations.
Understanding the Tool
Five Forces Analysis assumes that there are five important forces that determine competitive power in a business situation. These are:
Supplier Power: Here you assess how easy it is for suppliers to drive up prices. This is driven by the number of suppliers of each key input, the uniqueness of their product or service, their strength and control over you, the cost of switching from one to another, and so on. The fewer the supplier choices you have, and the more you need suppliers' help, the more powerful your suppliers are.
Buyer Power: Here you ask yourself how easy it is for buyers to drive prices down. Again, this is driven by the number of buyers, the importance of each individual buyer to your business,......

...Porter’s Five Competitive Forces
Porter’s Five Forces is a framework for industry analysis and business strategy development, which helps business people understand the relative attractiveness of an industry and the industry’s competitive pressures. The five competitive forces are threat of new entrants, threat of substitute products or services, rivalry among existing competitors, bargaining power of buyers and bargaining power of suppliers.

Threat of new entrants
The threat of new entrants of Nike is low as there are high barriers to entry into the industry. It is hard to enter into the market as of a few reasons. The capital required to penetrate successfully into the industry is high, and the new entrants usually don’t have such a huge amount of capital in the beginning. Furthermore, the brand name of Nike is strong and well established. Leader like Nike has made the industry what it is today. Consequently, long-time competitors like Saucony and K-Swiss have been struggling for years just to keep its brands alive. This situation has further hindered the entry of new competitors.
Up until 1997, Nike was a market leader with 45% global market share. Nike did not have to worry about new companies taking away much, if any, of its market share. With Nike’s well known brand name, no company stood to make any dent in Nike’s market share. But when Nike was accused of employing Indonesian children under 16 years old to produce their......

Porter's Five Forces allowed us to analyse the influences on the industry in which Tesco operates. It highlights where Tesco has developed a competitive edge over its rivals.
Potential entrants:
Throughout the recession Tesco has continued to invest into expanding the company and developing efficiencies, making it as competitive as ever to defend against the threat of new entrants (Datamonitor, 2010, p. 19).
The threat of a new competitor entering this sector is relatively low, due to the huge capital investment required to be competitive and establish a brand identity that stands out.
One of Tesco's main advantages is their ability to buy in vast quantities, making them highly price competitive.
Along with being the cost leader in many areas, they are also one of the few retailers to offer convenience services, like on-line shopping, home delivery and self-service checkouts.
All of which helps to protect them from the threat of new competitors.
Subsitutes:
There are many substitute options in the food retail sector and there are no switching costs to the consumer. Whereas, the switching costs for Tesco's financial services can be high and therefore a significant deciding factor for the customer.
To reduce the risk of customers turning to substitute major food retailers, Tesco expanded into many non-food areas including clothes, telecommunications, electronics and financial products, this provides customers the convenience of satisfying many of......

After the analysis of Jetstar’s societal environment with the use of PEST, the Porter’s Five Forces can be used to analyse another aspect of the external environment; the task environment.
Porter’s Five Forces is a framework that consists of five competitive forces, threat of entry, power of supplier and buyer, threat of substitution and competitive rivalry. These forces facilitate the analysis of the task environment of an industry or company (Wheelen and Hunger, 2009).
The threat of new entry is high because there are no significant barriers of entry in the airline industry. For example, airplanes can be easily leased, defraying the large initial capital investment. Additionally, exit cost in the business is considered to be low as airplanes can be easily sold off or redeployed to other markets (Sundaresan, n.d.). Least to say, business in budget airlines is getting more lucrative with more flyers turning to low fare flights. Thus more airlines are providing low fare flights to meet the demands of flyers.
Power of supplier of Jetstar is considered to be low. There are two main inputs to the airline industry; aviation fuel and airplanes. Since aviation fuel is a commodity, which prices are largely determined by the market forces and geo-political forces (Sundaresan, n.d.), it can be said that the suppliers do not have much of a control over the prices put out to Jetstar. With regard to the supply of airplanes, there are currently two......

The analysis of Cosmetic Industry has come out with Poter’s five forves model to analyze the level of rivalry in this industry. In the Porter’s Five Forces Model the rivalry which is in the middle is most powerful of the five compentitive forces.
Rivalry among competing firms (High)
There are a large number of competitors in this industry, and all competitors are competing for the same customers. Thus Carlina have to compete against its direct competitors that sell similar products. The large number of direct competitors in the industry causes a high degree of rivalry.
Competitors are also selling similar products, which is cosmetic product. Due to having so many options, customer is able to switch between brands easily. The industry is in its maturity stage causing the market growth to be static. Thus all companies are striving to maintain its market share in the industry against their competitors.
Barriers to enter for new competitors (Moderate)
The barriers to enter for new competitors are at a moderate, especially during the maturity stage of the industry’s life cycle. Majority of firms that already existed in the industry have developed economies of scale, thus providing a cost advantage to them over the new entrants. If new companies try to enter into the market, it will face problems especially to cover for the expenditures, as they have not......
